my mom's boyfriend has two boys, one is into guitars and vidio games, and is an awsome kid. the other is a little clone of how i was when i was his age. he loves hunting, fishing, and just being outside, so he loves when i show up lol. anyway when i showed up last weekend he went running in his room and came out with this. its a little wrist rocket he modified to shoot a carbon arrow he found at a garrage sale. check this out. creative kid aint he?





later that day we cut down a couple of oak saplings to play around with. this is what he ended up with and he thought it was the greatest thing sence sliced bread.













not sure how that hinge happened, green wood is a pain. but he sat down with my tomahawk for about an hour or more and made this all by his self. i was pretty impressed. over the summer im going to bring him to my grandpa's house where all my tools are and we are gunna try to get him a decend redoak bow built. i just wish i was a little bit better of a bowyer so i could teach him a little better.  :-\

now i just got to get it through his head that just cuz it moves dont mean you need to kill it lol. ::)

Hey recurve,
         Get that boy a bow and a few arrows .....if he shoots with the same dedication as he builds bows....the little critters could probably use some kevlar ;D.....speakin of kevlar's....they are real tricky to skin out, that's how come it costs so much.
